@christian_ouellet: "Illustrator 10.0.3 on OS 10.3.2 on a 1GHz PB-G4
after working for a few minutes with Illustrator - i get the spinning beachball for 5-10 secs after every move i do - even pressing the space bar for the move tool and command for the selection tool gives me the beachball...
first thought it might be the clipboard or big files opened in Photoshop, but it does it even without launching PS and having the clipboard empty. Quiting the apps will not fix it - i have to reboot to get rid of the problem (for like 5-15min - it starts again after a while)
I checked if i had corrupted fonts, but that was not the cause...
am i the only one with this problem? It only does this with illustrator - no other app suffers from these symptoms. the only thing in my bag of tricks left is a clean install... but i'm hoping it won't have to come to that...
thanks for your help"
    @christian_ouellet: "found something else...
opened a big illustrator file with lotsa text and images and then i got that damn spinning wheel for 1-2min after every move this time. so now i'm wondering if it could have to do with illustrator's cache...?"
    @Brian_Battles: "Did you ever find the cause for this? My AI does the same thing and I came to post about it?
Hey, anyone, what's the fix? Did anyone get this problem fixed by upgrading to CS? (I would really like to avoid that cost for the time being)
I have a complex illustration that is going to take me 10 times as long if I don't find the answer to the spinning rainbow pizza handicap."
    @dholmes: "Have you tried deleting the Adobefnt.lst files. Do not delete the Adobefnt.db file, by the way. You'll need to do a search for them. They're all over the place. They are just cache lists of fonts that Illustrator uses. When removed Illustrator will make a new one. Trash your AI preferences, even the plugin cache, and restart AI."
    @Larry_G_Schneider: "Also check your Text Options for some of the new ones like Optical Kerning which have to be recalculated for each move. If you want to use them, turn them on at the last minute.
